Burpees

Burpees are a full-body exercise that target your core, chest, and legs. To perform a burpee, start in a standing position, drop into a squat with your hands on the ground in front of you, kick your feet back into a plank position, do a push-up, return to the squat position, and then leap up into the air. This exercise raises your heart rate, helping to burn calories and reduce midsection fat.

Russian Twists

Russian Twists target the obliques and help build a solid core. Sit on the floor with knees bent and feet lifted off the ground. Lean back slightly, keeping your spine straight, and clasp your hands together. Rotate your torso to the right, then to the left, while controlling the movement to engage the obliques effectively. Adding a weight like a medicine ball can increase the intensity.

Plank

The plank is excellent for core stabilization, engaging multiple abdominal muscles. Start in a forearm plank position with shoulders stacked over elbows, maintaining a straight line from head to heels. Tighten your core and hold the position while breathing steadily. This exercise not only shapes the abs but also enhances overall endurance and strength.

Mountain Climbers

Mountain Climbers provide a dynamic workout for the core while boosting cardiovascular fitness. Begin in a high plank position, drive one knee toward your chest, then quickly switch legs, imitating a running motion with your legs. Maintain a tight core and repeat the movement at an accelerated pace to maximize the fat-burning potential.

Bicycle Crunches

Bicycle Crunches effectively target the abs and obliques. Lie on your back, lift your shoulders off the mat, and bring your knees toward your chest. Place your hands behind your head, extend one leg out while twisting your body to bring the opposite elbow to the bent knee. Alternate sides in a pedaling motion to engage the entire core.

Leg Raises

Leg Raises focus on the lower abdominals. Lie on your back with hands by your sides or under your glutes for support. Keep your legs straight and lift them toward the ceiling, then slowly lower them back down without touching the floor. Control the movement to increase the workout's effectiveness on the lower abs.

Side Planks

Side Planks strengthen the obliques and enhance core stability. Lie on your side, lift your body upright with an elbow directly under the shoulder, and stack your feet. Hold this position steadily while engaging the core. Perform on each side to achieve balanced core strength and oblique definition.

Hanging Knee Raises

Hanging Knee Raises are effective for building a strong midsection. Hang from a pull-up bar with your arms fully extended. Contract your abs and lift your knees toward your chest without swinging. Control the descent to prevent momentum from taking over, which ensures consistent engagement of the ab muscles.

Reverse Crunches

Reverse Crunches target the lower abs efficiently. Begin lying on your back, with your arms at your sides. Bend your knees at a 90-degree angle and lift your hips off the ground, bringing your knees toward your chest. Slowly return to the starting position. Focus on controlling the movement for better muscle engagement.

Flutter Kicks

Flutter Kicks engage the lower abs while building endurance. Lie on your back, extend your legs, and lift them slightly off the floor. Alternately kick your legs up and down in a rapid, controlled manner. Keep your core tight to avoid arching your lower back, which maximizes the workout's impact on the abs.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Midsection (General) Fat

 

Burpees and Mountain Climbers

 

  • Combine Burpees with Mountain Climbers to create a high-intensity cardio sequence that blasts fat. Start with a set of 10 burpees to elevate your heart rate, followed by 30 seconds of mountain climbers to maintain the intensity and target the core dynamically.

 

Russian Twists and Bicycle Crunches

 

  • Pair Russian Twists with Bicycle Crunches for oblique engagement from multiple angles. Perform 20 Russian twists on each side, immediately followed by 15 bicycle crunches per side to optimize abdominal muscle activation.

 

Plank and Leg Raises

 

  • Alternate Plank with Leg Raises for core activation and lower abdominal focus. Start with a 30-60 second plank, then transition to 10 controlled leg raises, keeping tension in the lower abs and returning to the plank for sustained engagement.

 

Side Planks and Flutter Kicks

 

  • Blend Side Planks with Flutter Kicks to enhance oblique strength and endurance. Hold a side plank for 30 seconds on each side, then perform 30 seconds of flutter kicks to challenge the lower abs while maintaining a stable core.

 

Hanging Knee Raises and Reverse Crunches

 

  • Integrate Hanging Knee Raises with Reverse Crunches to target the entire midsection. Perform 8-10 hanging knee raises, immediately followed by 15 reverse crunches. This combination maximizes lower ab involvement and provides consistent core contraction.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
